True leadership Quotes

“True leadership is not defined by notoriety, power, prestige, status, or job title...”

“What are you doing for others is the ultimate end of true leadership.”

“Presenting leadership as a list of carefully defined qualities (like strategic, analytical, and performance-oriented) no longer holds. Instead, true leadership stems from individuality that is honestly and sometimes imperfectly expressed.... Leaders should strive for authenticity over perfection.”

“Jesus said several times, “Come, follow me.” His was a program of “do what I do,” rather than “do what I say.” His innate brilliance would have permitted him to put on a dazzling display, but that would have left his followers far behind. He walked and worked with those he was to serve. His was not a long-distance leadership. He was not afraid of close friendships; he was not afraid that proximity to him would disappoint his followers. The leaven of true leadership cannot lift others unless we are with and serve those to be led.”

“True leadership is caring about the people who don’t care about things you care about.”

“True leadership is about pulling forth the gold in everyone and believing in people before they deserve it.”

“You cannot climb up to a true leadership position unless you use the ladder of integrity!”

“True greatness, true leadership, is achieved not by reducing men to one's service but in giving oneself in selfless service to them.”

“If the leadership can't win a debate, then we should show true leadership and implement the democratic will of our party.”
